The leak of a bootleg version of Spider-Man: Brand New Day was discovered on X (formerly known as Twitter) for nearly seven hours, during which it amassed substantial views and engagement. The leaked content included previews that were shared across various social media accounts but faced swift takedown requests from Disney. Despite the quick removal, the leak had already generated significant interest among fans and viewers alike.
The film's box office performance remains unaffected by this incident, as it continues to break records with its impressive preview earnings of $72 million. This outperforms the previous record holder, Avengers: Endgame, which grossed $60 million during its previews in 2019. Disney’s swift response to the leak underscores their commitment to maintaining control over their intellectual property.
